Antiquities & Anti-Semitism Collide in Timely & Taut New Thriller
(PRWEB) April 15, 2015 -- Set in the 1990s, "Paris Lamb" tells a remarkable story about biblical archaeology that is interwoven with the realities of anti-Semitism in the 1950s. A robust, satisfying read with a captivating love story, the tale journeys from Paris to the Ivy League, New York, Miami, and beyond.
The suspicious death of an esteemed professor thrusts biblical archaeologist Michael Saunders to the forefront of a rare antiquities auction. He is beckoned from a Paris vacation to authenticate the priceless artifacts known as God’s Gold. Through the ages, the objects – a candelabrum, silver trumpets, and a sacrificial table from Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem – have passed through the hands of barbarians and Vandals, to find their way to the Vatican for safekeeping.
Released onto the open market, several world powers vie for these rare treasures. But are the relics real? Impulsively, Michael returns with his Paris lamb to New York. His stance that the objects are authentic sparks confrontations with other academics as well as a sinister cabal of Chinese investors. Secrets are to be revealed and lives changed forever in this compelling, beautifully written tale.
